lyrics

DALAI LAMA TOWN

Wait around for years or search a lifetime 
The perfect punch line may never hit you back 
The joke is that each moment is for living 
Until the writer types “fade to black”   
From sun to moon 
The sky is there It never takes a bow 
From night to noon 
The big affair Is rockin’ whether you are around  
Movin’ down thru Dalai Lama Town  (Dalai Lama Town) 
Hoping to find my reality way beyond the clouds 
Movin’ down – my last decision – leave my past behind 
Sikh in Dalai Lama Town 
Dalai Lama town
  To question is the best of all religions 
Surprised as pigeons when they finally hit the fan 
That’s when we need a dose of Instant Karma
 To free the farmer from a field of sand   
From sun to moon The sky is there
 It never takes a bow 
From night to noon 
The whole affair Is rockin’ whether you are around  
Movin’ down thru Dalai Lama Town  (Dalai Lama Town
) Hoping to find my reality way beyond the clouds 
Movin’ down – my last decision – leave my past behind
 Sikh in Dalai Lama Town 
Or some exotic phrase that means the same  

Crush all boxes  
Don’t play the fool 
Everything you think – you "am"  
Tell the bastard trying to keep you a slave 
That you’ve got other plans

From sun to moon 
The sky is there 
It never takes a bow 
From night to noon 
The whole affair Is rockin’ whether you are around 
  Movin’ down thru Dalai Lama Town  (Dalai Lama Town)
 Hoping to find my reality way beyond the ground
 Movin’ down – my last decision – leave my past behind
 Sikh in Dalai Lama Town 
Where dunderheads and wise men pray in line 
They say it makes a difference when ya die

  That remains to be seen 
That remains to be seen
 That remains to be seen
 That remains to be seen 
That remains to be seen
